Frecuencia Tropical FM

Frecuencia Tropical FM sits in the tail of Chile's 99 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

The directory records no opens at all for Frecuencia Tropical FM. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

Frecuencia Tropical FM is the only station in Chile whose first tag is musica tropical, out of 99 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Chile does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only musica tropical station.

Frecuencia Tropical FM streams at 72 kbps, under Chile's median of 128 kbps. A lower rate is not automatically worse: speech carries perfectly well below the music threshold, and a station built for phones on a weak connection has a good reason to encode this way.
